An Appalachian Wedding

Look up at the sky the heavens so blue the sun so radiant the clouds so playful the soaring raptors woodland creatures meadows in bloom rivers singing their way to the sea wolfsong on the land whalesong in the sea celebration everywhere wild, riotous immense as a monsoon lifting an ocean of joy then spilling it down over the Appalachian landscape drenching us all in a deluge of delight as we open our arms and rush toward each other all of us moved by that vast compassionate curve that brings all things together in intimate celebration celebration that is the universe itself.
